General Information

Always use tools specifcally designed for


plastic pipe.
Protective gloves are recommended for use
when solvent cementing. If hands come
into contact with cement, use a waterless
abrasive soap.
Avoid sources of heat or open fames when
solvent cementing. Do not smoke.
Always chamfer and deburr pipe ends.
Use the proper solvent cement (note; air
shipments of solvent cement are forbidden by law).
Always replace lids on cans when not in use.
Never dilute solvent cement.
Keep jointing surfaces dry in wet weather.
Avoid direct inhalation of fumes. Use in a well-ventilated area.
Wine up spills or leaks immediately with clean lintfree cloth or paper towels.
Follow recommended cure times prior to testing the system.
Prevent excessive solvent cement from running into the pipe or ftting socket.
The Integrity of air sampling systems may be affected if proper CPVC solvent
cement is not used. Xtralis disclaims responsibility for any air sampling pipe
system constructed with cements other than those recommended.

Handling and Storage
Care should be taken at all stages of
handling, transportation and storage.
Brief exposure to direct sunlight may
cause discoloration but will not affect
physical properties. Piping must be
covered with a non-transparent material
when stored outside. This covering must
provide adequate air circulation above and
around the pipe as required to prevent
excessive heat absorption that can result
in discoloration and deformation of the
product during long term storage.
Pipe should be properly supported in
storage to prevent sagging or bending.
Pipe should be stored at the job site on
level ground in the packages provided.
Caution must be exercised to avoid
compression, damage or deformation.
Thermoplastic pipe must not be stored
close to heat producing sources such
as heaters, boilers, steam lines, engine
exhaust etc.
Although Xtralis VESDA piping products
are tough and corrosion resistant, they
should not be dropped, have objects
dropped on them, nor subjected to external
loads. Pipe must not be dragged across
the ground or over obstacles. Impacts
such as dropping from sizable heights
and/or rough handling should be avoided,
particularly in cold weather. The product
shall be inspected for any scratches,
splits or gouges that may have occurred
from improper handling or storage. These
sections must be cut out and discarded.

Solvent Cementing
Solvent cement welding is a simple and quick means of constructing high integrity leakfree joints.
Care must be used to ensure that the correct solvent cement is used and that joining instructions
are followed properly.

BEFORE APPLYING SOLVENT CEMENT appropriate safety precautions must be taken. Be aware
at all times of good safety practices. Solvent cements are fammable. Eliminate all ignition sources.
Do not smoke during use and do not expose to other sources of heat or fame in working or storage
areas. Avoid breathing vapors. Use only with adequate ventilation. Explosion proof mechanical
ventilation or local exhaust is recommended to maintain vapor concentrations below recommended
exposure limits. In confned areas, a NIOSH approved organic vapor cartridge respirator with
full-face piece is recommended. Cement should be stored in the shade at temperatures between
40F and II0F Containers should be kept tightly closed when not in use, and covered as much as
possible during use. Avoid contact with eyes. Splash proof chemical goggles are recommended.
Avoid frequent contact with skin. Wearing PVA coated gloves and an impervious apron are
recommended. Solvent cements have a limited shelf life and must be used prior to the expiration
date. Refer to printed warnings on cement can and Material Safety Data Sheets for additional
information.
Joining Procedures
The following procedure MUST be followed:
The pipe must be cut square. Cutting the pipe as squarely as possible provides a maximum
bonding area. Xtralis VESDA pipe can be cut easily with a wheel-type plastic tubing cuttet
ratchet style cutter or fne toothed saw. Care must be taken not to split the pipe if a ratchet type
cutter is used, particularly at colder temperatures.
Remove all burrs and flings, and place a slight bevel on the pipe end. A fle or chamfering tool
is suitable for this purpose. A proper bevel will ease entry of the pipe into the ftting socket and
prevent solvent cement from being wiped from the joining surfaces during assembly.
Wipe loose dirt and moisture from the ftting socket and pipe end by using clean dry rag. Check
the dry ft of the components being joined to ensure compatibility. The pipe should enter the
ftting socket 1/4 to 3/4 of the way. If the pipe bottoms with little interference ft use extra solvent
cement when making the joint.
Using the appropriate size applicator (a dauber or natural bristle brush 1/2 the size of the pipe
diameter being joined) apply a heavy even coat of one-step cement to the outside pipe end
while working into the surface. Apply a medium coat of cement to the ftting socket. If there was
little interference during the dry ft apply a second coat of cement to the pipe end at this time. It
is important to work quickly so that the cement is still liquid (to allow surfaces to slide) when pipe
and ftting are assembled.
Immediately insert the pipe completely into the ftting socket while rotating the pipe 1/4 turn.
Properly align the ftting for installation at this time. The pipe must bottom to the ftting stop.
Hold the assembly for 10 to 15 seconds to ensure initial bonding. A continuous bead of cement
should be evident around the joint.
Wipe off excessive cement with a rag (excessive cement can cause over-softening resulting
in damage). The assembly must be allowed to set without any stress on the joint for 1 to 5
minutes.
The assemblies must be allowed to cure properly prior to use. Cure times are a function of pipe
size, temperature, humidity and tightness of ft. Refer to following cure times:
Pipe Temp Temp Temp
Size 60F to 120F 40F to 59F 0F to 30F
3/4 & 1 1 1/2 hour 4 hour 48 hour
For estimation purposes, approximately 270 joints can be made per quart of Xtralis VESDA
CPVC one-step cement.
